TUSLA,
Okla. - November 29, 2017 (Investorideas.com Newswire) AppSwarm, Inc. (SWRM)
("the Company") A technology company specializing in the accelerated
development and publishing of mobile apps has completed development plans with
SinglePoint (OTC:SING) to conduct a shared roll-out of mobile
applications specifically geared to solve issues in the cannabis space using
the Blockchain technology and Bitcoin payment options. The applications and
tech will be modelled and marketed under SinglePoint's SingleSeed subsidiary (www.SingleSeed.com), while AppSwarm (www.app-swarm.com) will provide the
necessary technical support and application development. The venture calls for
a 50/50 revenue share on all products to be deployed.

The
Crypto and cannabis market is in need for technology solutions that can advance
productivity and do it safely. AppSwarm and SinglePoint intend to develop
mobile applications that address these needs by creating a system that allows a
business to see what is going on in the market around them. The mobile apps and
tech created will also modernize the consumer experience by adding in
SinglePoint's payment features, as well as a multitude of other functionalities
that are currently proprietary to AppSwarm.

"This
JV with SinglePoint allows them unfettered access to all of the technology we
currently have in-house, as well as what we are and will be developing in the
near future. With the Crypto space expanding at mind-boggling speed it only
makes sense to be partnering with such a prestigious industry leader in
SinglePoint," stated AppSwarm CEO Ron Brewer.

SinglePoint
and AppSwarm plan to launch the first application mid-January 2018 as well as
release additional applications shortly after the initial launch. The first
application will provide a base for additional applications and will be a
service-based application for the business-to-business (B2B) and
business-to-consumer (B2C) markets.

The
cryptocurrency market cap has reached $300 billion, according to marketcap.com,
with gains in many of the major currencies, particularly as Bitcoin price has
jumped over $9,500. The market cap has been driven by a number of factors, but
Bitcoin continues to maintain a 53 percent dominance in the total cap.

The
market cap surge has been spurred on by a huge jump in the value of Bitcoin, but other coins have also had excellent
weeks. Ethereumand Litecoin had
particularly strong weeks, with Ethereum posting an all-time high and other
altcoins like Monero, IOTA, and Dash all had a
strong showing as well.

The
cannabis market is projected to reach $50 billion by 2025. Currently, cannabis
is legal in 29 states and the District of Columbia. These mobile applications
will be available for use in all states. As new states legalize, the companies
will look to grow alongside the new states opening to legalized cannabis sales.

SinglePoint
CEO Greg Lambrecht states, "We are excited to be working with AppSwarm on
our proposed solutions. What they have shown us they have in-house supports
what we are looking to roll out into the industry. We will work with what they
have and continue to build new applications to add value. This is really a
win-win partnership for both teams as they have great technology and we have
capital to roll out a national campaign to quickly start driving positive
revenue for both companies."

#ICO Alert: One Cryptocurrency Platform is Pioneering a new Paradigm That Could Change Everything!

November 27, 2017 (Investorideas.com Newswire) On the early morning of June 19, 2016, Travis Mason, a guard at a marijuana dispensary in Aurora, Colorado, was fatally shot in the head by two armed robbers. These men weren't looking for pot; they were searching for what they must have suspected were substantial amounts of cash kept at the dispensary. This was born out by the heist of $100,000 in cash from a dispensary in Seattle a year earlier. "This incredibly sad situation underscores the public safety risk faced by our industry due to the fact that we don't have access to banking," Michael Elliott, executive director of the Marijuana Industry Group, told the Aurora Sentinel.

He is correct. In Canada and especially in the US, very few banks will have anything to do with cash generated from the sale of marijuana or cannabis-based products because they are illegal at the federal level. This has caused huge and potentially fatal headaches for pot stores and dispensaries as they attempt to conduct an all-cash business - from sales to payroll to taxes.

Though there is hope on the horizon for Canadian businesses as a bill for national legalization is expected to be tabled soon, for US businesses the nightmare is only beginning as more and more states vote to legalize pot for recreational use yet it remains federally illegal.

While security companies and business owners work to make the industry more secure, the only circumstances that will truly change the plight of these operations would be if and when they are afforded the same financial protections as other businesses. This could be decades away if business owners are forced to wait for their national banking system to provide these protections. Fortunately, Cryptocurrency is coming to the rescue.

What Is CannaSOS?

In 2014, CannaSOS launched as an amalgamation of a social network, advertising platform and marijuana database with plans to eventually incorporate a complete Cryptocurrency transaction platform known as the PerksCoin Transaction Platform, or PTP. This platform will enable cannabis consumers, and the vendors, manufacturers and advertisers of cannabis-related products, to exchange secure currency for products provided or services rendered. In short, it stands to be the vehicle by which the cannabis community can finally enjoy financial freedom and security worldwide. Today, the CannaSOS site boasts over 315,000 registered members and 970 business pages.

The PerksCoin Transaction Platform

PTP is a Cryptocurrency platform set to run on decentralized blockchain technology. Once launched, the platform will exist as an autonomous entity regulated by the participants in the blockchain. The platform will incorporate a cryptocurrency wallet and be free to use by the public.

The secure sale features will not be necessary for small, over-the-counter transactions but will undoubtedly be coveted by businesses for B2B operations for large sums pertaining to advertising, inventory and supply purchases. Both consumers and businesses will likely elect to utilize the Secure Sale system for their online transactions.

The rendering party will be responsible for paying a service fee in PCT tokens. The fee amount will be determined based on a vote by blockchain participants. PCT tokens collected as a payment for Secure Sale service will be removed from the blockchain via burning.

Why CannaSOS?

According to California treasurer John Chiang, the US cannabis industry is expected to blow passed the $7 billion mark in 2018. Meanwhile, an estimated 70% of these businesses do not have bank accounts. In his words, "this is trouble waiting to happen."

Just ask the many business owners trying to do the right thing in an industry in which the financial component resembles the gold rush in the wild west. "We're close to a crisis when it comes to how to manage the situation in legal fashion," said Kathleen Van Osten, a consultant who represents a "regulatory-minded" San Jose cannabis manufacturer. "They're running out of space to store cash."

Besides the personal risks to business owners and employees, dealing with cash also cuts down on the profitability of canna-related businesses.

Khurshid Khoja, an attorney for the California Cannabis Industry Association, said one of his clients has 60 employees and an accounting team of four, plus a controller - "nearly unheard of" for a company that size. The firm pays $325,000 a year in salaries to people who deal only with cash handling, and estimates it loses $1 million a year to the various burdens cash imposes.

Meanwhile, consumers of cannabis-related products are inconvenienced by the fact that very few businesses can allow them to use debit or credit cards. Those who do typically need to charge a fee due to the expense on their end.

There can be no doubt that the entire cannabis industry is yearning for a financial transaction platform that addresses these concerns, and PerksCoin tokens and the PTP created by CannaSOS are perfectly positioned to do just that.

PerksCoin will also be used as a loyalty program among retailers, wholesalers, and other businesses in not just the cannabis industry. One example is Pundi X - a CannaSOS partner. CannaSOS universal API for PerksCoin (to be created around April, 2018) will be implemented into Pundi X's POS platform; which currently operates in 600~ locations in South East Asia, and is planning on adding another 200,000 locations by 2020. Pundi X's POS platform is currently implemented in restaurants and Café's, convenience stores and other shops.

The CannaSOS ICO

CannaSOS enjoyed a spectacular pre-ICO with upwards of 9 million PCT tokens being reserved up by over 400 early adopters. With the public presale for the ICO starting on November 25, savvy cryptocurrency watchers will have the opportunity to jump onboard what could be a game-changer for the cannabis industry at a substantial discount.

"The last month or so has been a whirlwind as we've seen an intense outpouring of interest both on the investment and implementation side," remarked CannaSOS founder and CEO Oleg Cheine. "Clearly, both blockchain experts, as well as cannabis-related experts and organizations, recognize the potential of our transaction platform for the industry."

Upco
International Inc. (CSE: $UPCO.C) Announces Development of Advanced #Blockchain
Payment System

Vancouver,
BC, November 27, 2017, Upco International Inc. (CSE:
UPCO)
(“UPCO”) is pleased to announce plans to expand its current mobile application
to include a payment service using advanced blockchain technologies. Currently,
its application enables fully secure communications through social media,
picture and location sharing, international airtime top-up, international and
national calls, and chatting like SKYPE and WhatsApp. With the addition of
blockchain payment services, users will be able to: send invoices, approve payments, transfer
international funds, convert international currencies, and track transfers and
payments. The application will also allow vendors to securely share account
information with their clients.

Mr Andrea Pagani,
CEO and President of UPCO commented, “The first generation of the digital
revolution brought us the Internet of information. The second generation —
powered by blockchain technology — is bringing us the Internet of value: a new
platform to reshape the world of business and transform the old order of
human affairs for the better. Blockchain is the technology that underlies the
cryptocurrency Bitcoin. Blockchain
allows a vast, global distributed ledger or database running on millions of
devices, where not just information but anything of value — money, but also
titles, deeds, identities, even votes — can be moved, stored and managed
securely and privately.”

The
development team for this blockchain payment service will be led by Dominic da
Assuncao, senior business systems consultant and full-stack software engineer
whose background includes: international business, operations and computer
systems management, and computer games programming. Since 1991, Dominic has delivered world-class
shrink wrap software, as well as customized ERP systems, multi-media
applications, and internet enabled auction and medical systems. At present
Dominic is engaged in upgrading a major clinical system, operating at a prominent Canadian
hospital, using blockchain technology.

Since
the late 1990’s Dominic has been working with immutable database frameworks
that have evolved into blockchain technology, and has developed an experimental self-archiving
system to store large amounts of data on non re-writeable storage. The
technology has subsequently been adapted to use an ACID compliant relational
database to simulate CRUD functionality while permanently keeping all changes to the records.

This
technology also includes protocols which securely and automatically distribute
data throughout an open network of dissimilar servers optimized for distributed
network topography. This effectively avoids the costs of processing
transactions in peer-to-peer topography, although such adoption is possible.
The design was ported in 2007 for relational databases to serve as the
foundation of a shared distributed medical data storage system. Future
developments will include channel encryption as well as smart contracts.
